Chapter 3 Atoms: The Building Blocks of Matter

I. Foundations of Atomic Theory Several basic laws were introduced after the 1790’s (emphasis on quantitative analysis):  Law of conservation of mass: mass is neither created nor destroyed during ordinary chemical or physical processes.

I. Foundations of Atomic Theory  Law of definite proportions: chemical compounds contain the same elements in exactly the same proportions by mass regardless of the size of the sample.  Ex. NaCl always is composed of 39.34% sodium and 60.66% chlorine by mass.

I. Foundations of Atomic Theory  Law of multiple proportions: if two or more different compounds are composed of the same 2 elements, the ratio of mass of the second element combined with a certain mass of the first is always a ratio of small whole numbers.

I. Foundations of Atomic Theory  Ex. CO and CO 2 : For the same mass of carbon, the mass of the O in CO to the mass of O in CO 2 will be 1:2  If you had 28 g of CO and 44 g of CO 2, both would contain 12 g of C. The CO would contain 16 g of O and the CO 2 would contain 32 g of O.

I. Foundations of Atomic Theory Masses in COMasses in CO 2 Ratios 12 g C 16 g O 12 g C 32 g O C= 12:12 = 1:1 O = 16: 32 = 1:2

II. Development of Atomic Models: John Dalton (1808): 1.All matter is composed of extremely small particles called atoms (cannot be subdivided, created, nor destroyed) 2.Atoms of the same element are identical; atoms of different elements are different

II. Development of Atomic Models: John Dalton (1808): 3.Atoms combine in simple whole number ratios to form compounds 4.In chemical reactions, atoms combine, separate, or are rearranged.

II. Development of Atomic Models: John Dalton (1808): Which of these were later proven wrong and why?  1) Atoms can be subdivided  2) Atoms of the same element do NOT have to be identical

II. Development of Atomic Models: J.J. Thomson (1897) and Robert Millikan (1909):  Used cathode rays to determine that atoms contained small negatively charged particles called electrons.  Atoms must also contain positive charges to balance the negative electrons

II. Development of Atomic Models:

 Other particles must account for most of the mass of the atom  Millikan determine the size of the charge on the electron (oil drop experiment)

II. Development of Atomic Models: Ernest Rutherford (1911):  What was the structure of the atom?  Gold Foil Experiment Thomson assumed mass and charged particles were evenly distributed throughout the atom (“plum-pudding” model)

II. Development of Atomic Models:

Ernest Rutherford (1911): Expected most of the particles to pass with only slight deflection Most particles did, but some showed wide-angle deflections (some almost came back to the source).

II. Development of Atomic Models:

Ernest Rutherford (1911):  discovery of the NUCLEUS of the atom small, dense, positively charged center of the atom number of PROTONS in the nucleus determines the atom’s identity

II. Development of Atomic Models:  Rutherford Atomic Model (solar system model)

III. Forces in the Nucleus Repulsive forces should exist between protons in the nucleus (like charges repel).  Why doesn’t the nucleus “fly apart” due to the repulsive electromagnetic force?

III. Forces in the Nucleus Strong (nuclear) force:  attractive force that acts over very small distances in the nucleus  causes proton-proton, proton- neutron, neutron-neutron attractions Note: gravitational force is present, but negligible. Why?

IV. Atomic Dimensions How “big” are subatomic particles? ParticleSymbol Relative Charge Mass Number Relative Mass (amu) Actual Mass (kg) electron e-e x protonp+p x neutron n0n x

IV. Atomic Dimensions How “big” are subatomic particles?  Atomic radii: 40 to 270 pm  Nuclear radii: about pm  Nuclear density: about 2 x 10 8 metric tons/cm 3  1 amu (atomic mass unit) = x kg  Why?

V. Properties of Atoms and Ions  atomic number (Z): number of protons in an atom  mass number: number of protons + neutrons in an atom (number of nucleons— particles in the nucleus)  isotopes (nuclides): atoms of the same element that have different masses (different number of NEUTRONS)

V. Properties of Atoms and Ions  ions: atoms with a charge (protons  electrons) charge = protons – electrons atoms can only turn into ions by gaining or losing ELECTRONS cation: positive ion anion: negative ion

VI. Designating Isotopes  There are two ways to write symbols for an isotope 1.name-(mass number) 2. symbol

VI. Designating Isotopes Examples:  Hydrogen has 3 isotopes: Protium Deuterium Tritium  How many neutrons in each isotope?  Note: mass number – atomic number = number of neutrons Hydrogen-1 Hydrogen-2 Hydrogen-3

VII. Elements on the Periodic Table  every periodic table will give you at least 3 pieces of information about elements: Li Atomic Number Symbol Atomic mass (amu)

VII. Elements on the Periodic Table  What is the basis for the atomic mass unit (amu)?  1 amu = exactly 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom (6 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons)  All other atomic masses are based on comparisons to C-12 (exactly 12 amu).

VII. Elements on the Periodic Table  Example: C-13 has a mass that is times heavier than C-12. The mass of C-13 is ( ) x 12 amu = amu

VIII. Average Atomic Mass  Carbon has 3 isotopes (nuclides): C-12 (12 amu) C-13 ( amu) C-14 ( amu)  Their average mass should be ( ) / 3 = amu

VIII. Average Atomic Mass  The atomic mass of carbon (periodic table) is amu.  WHY?

VIII. Average Atomic Mass  Atomic Mass of an element: weighted average of all the atoms in a naturally occurring sample of that element (NOTE: not every atom in that sample has the same mass)  Ex. How would you determine the average age of the students in this class?

VIII. Average Atomic Mass  atomic mass = sum of (mass of each isotope x percent abundance)

VIII. Average Atomic Mass  Example: C-12 (12 amu) 98.90% C-13 ( amu) 1.10% C-14 ( amu) trace atomic mass of C = (12 amu)(0.9890) + ( amu)(0.0110) + ( amu)(0) = amu

VIII. Average Atomic Mass  NOTE: the atomic mass of most elements will usually give you an idea of the most common isotope of that element (mass number that is closest to the atomic mass)

IX. Counting Atoms and Stuff Molar Mass:  mass of one mole of a substance  units: grams/mole  equal to the ATOMIC MASS of the element  for compounds, equal to the SUM of the masses of all the elements in the compound (multiply each elements’ atomic mass by the subscript)
